There was no one sitting in our section after the first quarter. At least one well-known Cardboarder was down in the concourse with me.
when the stadium opened we were in the upper bowl, after the very hot UCLA game that year (or was it the second year) we moved to the lower bowl which is cooler. In general I find even the lower bowl much hotter than the old stadium which had much better airflow given the construction on a big mound of dirt and more open design.
